cherishing the moments and exploring my passion for creativity… through art, photography, food, and writing

Introducing McKinneyX2Designs

I am so excited to share something my sweet daughter-in-law, Colleen and I have been up to the past couple of weeks. We started a little Etsy Shop together, and I could not be more proud of her and her beautiful work, so I wanted to share with all of you wonderful LifeinBetween friends.

She takes buttons and burlap and creates sweet little works of art (several have sold already for baby nurseries! a little blue whale and a toy sailboat!)

She paints beautiful sayings and adds country charm to each piece she hand makes with love and such attention to quality and detail.

I’ve added a few of my favorite little watercolors that I’ve turned into prints and made into cards – selling them in singles and boxed sets.

From our first sale, we got a Five Star Review:

Thank you, Maggie!

So I hope you don’t mind me sharing here and asking if you can help us spread the word. Will you share with your friends and give us a “favorite” on Etsy, a “like” and/or “share” on Facebook, and follow us on Instagram too?

And maybe you’ll even find something you like or a gift for someone you love. Here is a little gallery of some of our products.

I look forward to hearing what you think, and we would appreciate any ideas for products, suggestions for promotion, and general feedback on what you like or don’t like about it.

Thanks for letting me share, and thanks in advance to those of you that are willing to help us out and spread the word and share with your friends.

what a wonderful project for the two of you! I love the cute little duckie and the other works of art! Very nice ideas and something I would definitely buy! Of course your cards are so cute! Thanks for showcasing all of this for us to see! Will head over to the shop!xx Very talented that Colleen!

Dear Jodi, I started following Colleen on IG and I’m enthralled with her beautiful designs and your lovely watercolor cards. I want to purchase something for my studio but I haven’t decided yet. This is a good way of marketing your Etsy shop, the word will travel fast.

I’m following you on Instagram and Facebook and added you to favourites on Etsy. I didn’t check but do you ship to Canada? One artist that I follow and now has her art on Etsy, doesn’t ship to Canada. I had my credit card out and was ready to purchase when I saw the ‘shipping to the U.S. only’ button. Very disappointing.

Such a talented family, Jodi! Congratulations on your exciting new venture! Colleen’s work is beautiful and, of course, I am a huge admirer of your beautiful, handmade cards. Celebrating with you both! ♡

Oooh all of these items are just wonderful, how very exciting for the both of you! I will share your owl notecards with my owl friends facebook group! Congrats to both of you on a fantastic first review, too!

Congratulations Jodi!!

This must be so very exciting for the two of you and it looks lovely, with such a great range of wonderful gifts and cards there! Fantastic! Go forth and Prosper 🙂 and, …. you never know, you may be the inspiration I need. To Get a Shop.

Yes – so exciting KR! Thank you so much for helping us spread the word. Seems ETSY miscalculated the S/H, but Colleen took care of it right away! Sweet Christine was going to purchase anyway at the higher shipping, but Colleen quickly refunded her the error! Please share our thanks! The order will be shipped Tuesday as Monday is holiday 😦 thanks again!!!

Wow! You are both so creative! I’m not on Instagram, but I will definitely like you on Facebook. And I’m going to see about ordering some cards as well. Congrats on this new venture, and I look forward to hearing more about it!

One of my artist friends started an Etsy shop with her daughter-in-law featuring beautiful handmade works of art! I hope you’ll stop by, have a browse, and see what they have to offer. Let’s support our artist friends here at WordPress! Happy Friday to all!
